Life Transitions
Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can bring uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt. Even positive changes can feel destabilizing. I help you navigate these shifts with more clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of grounding as you adjust to what’s next.

Life Transitions
Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
One of Michael's specialties is helping people navigate the often "neither here nor there" psychological and emotional space in which important transitions take place. This can be a concrete transition, such as going to college/seeing children off to college, changing jobs, moving, formalizing a relationship's beginning or end, or having children. It can also be a less well defined but no less powerful transition, such as moving into your mid 30's, reaching mid-life, approaching retirement or just realizing that something different is desired. Michael approaches these transitional moments with the client, turning to the therapy relationship to identify how a transition can lead to growth and even to transformation.

Life Transitions
Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, stress, and a mix of emotions—even when the change is expected or positive. I support clients as they navigate major shifts such as career changes, relationship changes, identity development, and new stages of adulthood. In our work together, we focus on processing what is shifting, making sense of emotional responses, and identifying what stability and direction look like for you moving forward. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and confident as you adjust to change, while building clarity, resilience, and self-trust along the way.

Life Transitions
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Every major transition — a move, a loss, a new beginning, the end of something that defined you — strips away the structure you had been living inside without noticing. What remains can feel like nothing. That blankness is not emptiness. It is the space before the next thing, and it requires a particular kind of patience. Therapy during transition is not about figuring out the next step. It is about tolerating the interval long enough to discover what actually wants to emerge, rather than grabbing for the first thing that will make the uncertainty stop.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
Psychoanalytic therapy and it's goal of self understanding can be particularly helpful when you're navigating a major life transition. I work with people at transitions at various ages, but I particularly enjoy working with young adults as they navigate the world in a new way.

I work with individuals navigating life transitions by helping them process change and adjust to new roles, expectations, or identities. Life transitions can include shifts in relationships, career changes, moving, or other periods of uncertainty that can feel overwhelming or destabilizing. In therapy, we focus on making sense of these changes, building coping strategies, and increasing your ability to tolerate uncertainty. I incorporate CBT and ACT-based approaches to help you stay grounded during times of change while moving forward with greater clarity and intention.

Life Transitions
Kate Koslowsky
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life transitions can bring a mix of excitement, loss, uncertainty, and self-doubt. Whether you are starting a new relationship, becoming a parent, changing careers, or adjusting to a shift in your family, these moments often stir up old patterns and questions about who you are and where you’re going. In our work together, we take time to understand the larger story of your life, the relationships that have shaped you, and the emotions that come up as you move into something new. This process can help you feel more grounded, more clear about what matters to you, and more confident in the direction you’re heading.
